REST API to look up a model by a specific attribute value defined in the mapping

[aedelmann]

Currently, Vorto converts an (information) model to a platform specific output format using code generators with the support of mapping definitions. This process is uni-directional.

The problem in that is that you cannot re-verse lookup a model from this mapped output in order to find out from which Vorto Model it originated. This issue ought so solve this problem.

A possible use case is for example , when a LWM2M server receives a message containing a specific object ID and payload, the server could ask Vorto to lookup the function block associated with the Object ID and validate its payload.

A second use case would be that a message sent in one format (known to Vorto) can be converted into another Vorto-known platform format (on-the-fly).

This use cases are now supported by a new REST - API and Java Client API that allows to lookup Vorto Properties by platform specific attribute:

IModelRepository modelRepository = builder.buildModelRepositoryClient();

FunctionBlockModel temperatureSensorContent = modelRepo.getContent(ModelId.fromPrettyFormat("com.ipso.smartobjects.Temperature:0.0.1"), FunctionblockModel.class,"lwm2m").get();

IMapping mapping = builder.buildMappingClient();

List properties = mapping.newPropertyQuery(temperatureSensorContent).stereotype("Resource").attribute("ID", "5602").list();
